That looks quite, looks like a worth while conversion. Even with it costing AUS$100 it still seems quite resonable.

It seems every day there is the same dilemmas that us TC5 owners are coping with;
-balanced lipo mounting and weights?
-more flexible chassis for rubber tires or lower traction tracks?
-battery strap or tape the lipo?
I hope the new parts here will help address some of these problems for TC5 owners and maybe bring it up to 2010 spec

Pointless.... when you use that chassis and just move the lipo out further to balance it, you still have to add weight everywhere to get it upto the limit.
Lipo plate on the standard chassis is a far superior (and cheaper) way to do it!

I see Nicks point but not everyone has a min. weight limited or consistenty teched... 
so not everyone has to add lead to make a min., they just want an easy way to balance it all out... and w/ the pack sicking out & being adjustable, you can put more of the 'required to make a min. weight' more centralized instead of all of it hangin off the side or less 'centralized'.
they mention laterial flex..and does not have the round cell holes in the chassis... that really make any difference? I'd figure AE would design/build the deck w/ the additonal flex from the holes in mind while designing..but I duno.
Lastly, anyone used the lowered layshaft holders? Do they really help? At the price it's worth trying but any feed back is appreshiated. ..anything that frees up the drive train is good to me! ..Lowering the CG of the spur 1.25mm, has to help in theroy but is it noticable in the real world?

The only thing that bothers me about the chassis is the fact that my Lipo has the nubs on the bottom like the NiMH cells, and I'm not sure if I can grind these off or not.

I like the new chassis setup. After I run my TC5 the next two weekends and see how it runs with the changes I have made and my lipo tray I have now to try out. If I don't need to spend 100 bucks I won't but at least I know a really nice setup is available as an option.

So will an SMC 7.4V 6000mah 28C pack fit ont he TC5?
Also what are the differences between the early TC5's where there was only one car? no TC5f or TC5r just the TC5
How can you tell the difference between the 2?
Thanks

no need to grind off the nubs
